hdu. how very dare you

japanese people are people of color and therefore CANNOT be racist. you must be confusing their behavior with prejudice or bigotry

i suggest you enroll in an American college course that will address these issues immediately

..?
Of course people of colour can be racist.

(Anonymous) 2011-09-13 01:43 pm (UTC)(link)
DA

In before wank! I personally agree with you, but social justice warriors do not. The way they see it, only white people can be racist. Yes, even in countries where the majority of people are not white and are (some of them, not all, obviously) racist towards others (white and people-of-color-not-like-them).

I still get weirded out when people try to use this argument in Mass Effect verse. Consider that definition of racism is a quite US centric one and all.

Wait. What? People use this argument in Mass Effect fandom? Where? When?

(Anonymous) 2011-09-13 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
No, they can adopt a White POV of other races. But can they actually be racist? No, they don't have any real privilege that comes with being racist. They might have the 'model minority' privilege but like passing privilege, it's not real and is only used more to discredit other minorities by White people than anything. They can be prejudiced though.

Most native Japanese most likely never met a Black person in their lives, if they do, it's rarely more than a minor encounter. So where is their usual exposure of Black people? Through media. And when media rarely portray your race outside of harmful stereotypes, people are going to think that's how all Black people act. Hell, if they met and befriend a Black person, they will still think that what the media shows is true and you are just an anomaly. Fuck, some of my friends who are Asian-Americans who live in NYC think this bullshit, it's no surprise Asians outside of America act the way they do.

Late to the party, but whatever: I say bullshit! A japanese living in Japan is of course privileged. A white in Japan? Is not. A Japanese in the US is not privileged, someone white is. Seems pretty easy to me, since beeing privileged means belonging to the Status quo, to get chances other people won't and to get treated better because of your heritage. How can anyone say this doesn't include a Japanese in Japan?

(Anonymous) 2011-09-15 08:09 am (UTC)(link)
Same anon, just had to add this: The Japanese beeing a minority? Maybe in the Us or wherever else you talking about, but certainly not in Japan, which makes them the privileged party there.
